A store sells a variety of sets for building molecular models. The sets are described by the diagram below. Each circled letter

represents a box of 6 model atoms of one element. For example, the circled letter "P" represents a box with 6 model phosphorous atoms.
Set 1 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 18 hydrogen atoms. Set 2 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 24 hydrogen atoms. Set 3 has 6 carbon, 12 oxygen, 12 hydrogen, 6 nitrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms. Set 4 has 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, 6 hydrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms.

Kendra wishes to build a model of a carbohydrate molecule, ideally containing as many monomers as possible. Which set should she choose?

A. Set 1
B. Set 2
C. Set 3
D. Set 4

Answer:

B. Set 2

Explanation:

Carbohydrate is one of the four biological molecules in living systems (others are proteins, lipids and nucleic acid). The carbohydrate molecule consists of a long chain of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements in a ratio 1:2:1. Hence, the simplest unit of a carbohydrate has an empirical formula of (CH2O)n where n is the number of chains.

According to the question, a store sells a variety of sets for building molecular models and Kendra wishes to build a model of a carbohydrate molecule. Since carbohydrate monomers have a CH2O formula, Kendra needs a set in which the ratio of carbon: hydrogen: oxygen is 1:2:1. SET 2 fits this description by containing 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 24 hydrogen atoms

That is, carbon (12/12) : hydrogen (24/12) : oxygen (12/12), which is 1:2:1. Therefore, SET 2 is the best choice for Kendra in order to build her model of carbohydrate molecule containing as many monomers as possible.

List two pieces of evidence from the film justifying the claim that “termite mounds are an advantage to the savanna ecosystem.”
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Termites can spend time building mounds there by aerating the soil and allowing moisture which support the growth of shrubs, grasses, tress.

Through their mounds, their droppings contain phosphorus and nitrogen which add to the soil nutrients and supports grasses, shrubs and trees growth.

Explanation:

Termites are commonly found in Savannah ecosystem in African areas and they build mounds. Termites mounds consist of their fecal droppings , saliva and clay.

Termites can spend time building mounds there by aerating the soil and allowing moisture which support the growth of shrubs, grasses, tress.

Through their mounds, their droppings contain phosphorus and nitrogen which add to the soil nutrients and supports grasses, shrubs and trees growth.

Explain what scientists might be able to learn about the seawater that existed millions of years ago by studying rocks that came
oee [108]

Answer:

About composition of water and organisms that lives there.

Explanation:

scientists might be able to learn about the composition of seawater that was present millions of years ago if we study those stones that comes in contact to that ancient seawater because the traces of particles still present on it. This study provides valuable information about ancient times of earth and its natural resources. These rocks also provides animals that were present in that sea water at that time.
